Do you remember that feeling in your dark days? You know what I'm talking about: that sharp pain in your heart as if you're physically sick, or a more underlined, deep and constant sadness, hopelessness, or loneliness. Perhaps instead, you feel shame, regret, or anger from a past event? Even though it has been years, you just can’t let it go. Or is it that feeling of being stuck - stuck in a job you hate; stuck in a bad relationship you’re too afraid to leave, stuck in making ends meet; stuck in illness; stuck in procrastination…Sometimes you wonder: what’s the meaning of all this? Why me? Is there ever a way out of this?
Emotions are part of being human - they come and go. However, when negative emotions become so prominent or persistent, they overshadow your everyday life, kill your joy, dim your light, hurt your relationships, and eventually, they manifest into physical illness that could put you in more misery, or worse, death.
Let’s stop here…we’re heading to a pretty dark place. But you get the picture, right? The thing is: until your pain hits your tolerance threshold, most of us don’t change, simply because how humans are wired: we’d do anything to avoid pain and tend to be short-term focused (so we choose short-term pleasure even though it leads to more pain in the future). Unless there’s a significant event that shocks you or completely knocks you off your seat, most of us just continue the cycle of what we’ve always been doing. Even if you hate your job, the pain of quitting the job seems to be more painful than simply going on a vacation to distract yourself, you chose the vacation v.s. quitting the job. Next month (or week), you might hate your job more (and respect yourself less).
That’s a lot of people’s stories. At what point do you say: enough is enough? This needs to change! For some people, sadly, that never happens until the end of life. Others, fortunately, went to a dramatic event, or a drastic moment, which jotted them out of their usual pattern, separated them from their ego (sense of old self), gave them a moment of clarity, followed by an insight, and then some of them are brave enough to make a leap into the unknown of change…and their lives changed forever.
Change only takes a moment, yet the preparation to change could take a long time. Before you make the leap, it may seem so scary that it’s almost impossible. But everyone who’s made it to the other side would tell you: it’s not that scary, and you’d be glad. This is the path our founder went through a few times: leaving an emotionally abusive 10-year relationship, healing from an "uncurable" disease, a career change in recession, moving to a foreign country (several times), and becoming an entrepreneur in another recession. Each time, there were struggles and battles with the pain before that moment of clarity and decision - and each time there was more joy, pride and satisfaction on the other side. The more times she did it, the less she feared. She realized, all this time, the hard times, the “problems” were merely opportunities for growth, a signal from the universe guiding her to make the leap into the right direction of a happier life. Pain - is our body’s blinker - telling us something requires attention and change. And change, more often than not, takes you to a better place.
That’s why we curated a program called Total Transformation, with the help of plant medicine, breathwork therapy, movement therapy, along with other techniques and strategies, to help you gain clarity and get ready to make a shift in your life within just a short few days. It could be a shift in your emotional state; it could be a shift in career; it could be a shift in your decision making; it could be a shift in your personality; or it could be a shift in your relationships. Whatever that is causing you pain and satisfaction, that’s holding you back from living a full life.
Are you ready to live a happier life, not by chance, but by design?
